    Ugh thanks for an unpleasant flashback :(

    Ex was cheating all over town and my only choice for over six months was either put up with it or be homeless

    I once told this story on reddit, and the majority consensus was that it was my fault for not working harder or whatever

      Sucks that you went through that. I’m not sure how I would have done that without getting in legal trouble.

      Also, fuck the haters and trolls. People who don’t know shit always try to give their advice…so anyway here’s what you should have done…

          lol, I have been thinking about rules for a competition where you go on reddit to see if you can get certain types of disproportionate responses:

          • most innocuous foible for which someone recommends a divorce

          • most inoffensive post about Japan that causes someone to complain about WW2 war crimes

          • most reasonable mainstream position that causes someone to call you a tankie

          any other suggestions?

        Maybe they posted in an “advice” sub. That doesn’t make redditors not terrible at giving advice, just maybe it wasn’t unsolicited.

        Whereas my unsolicited advice as a lemming is way more fun. So, to start with, im gonna need you to get an obsidian dagger, and look up where to buy live chickens.

        Also, get some globes, bleach, and antiemetics; this is gonna get messy.

      I had to help two friends who were in a similar situation, it was stressful for both of them to break up, knowing that there was housing insecurity. Getting all the arrangements together also took months.

        Yup. It was traumatic enough that ever since then I’ve always made sure that my current partner always has enough money in an account under their name to be able to leave whenever they want. It’s nice knowing that they’re staying with me because they want to.
